1 1710 Sustainable conferences in a mountain village.

2 In Alpbach, relaxed meetings were always an unwritten agenda item. Summer Seminars in Alpbach, 1945, in the French zone of occupation. Never enough of something good. This might well be the message that the founders of the European Forum Alpbach had in mind, a sentiment which led to the creation of the area s first congress house in Alpbach. What followed was an unparalleled success story and in turn precipitated the 1999 construction of an entirely new building to house meetings. Then, in 2016, factors such as an increasing need for meeting space meant that expansion was once again needed although the building s essential character was retained. Today, the Congress Centrum Alpbach (CCA) is situated in an area where once there was an Alpine meadow. Let us show you why we believe in responsible and above all sustainable conferences in a mountain village. The CCA, established in 1997, The Paula von Preradovic-Haus, built from 1952 to with its trademark concave light cone of glass. The CCA was lavishly updated and expanded from

3 For meetings in harmony with nature. Green Meetings - This doesn t necessarily mean that meetings take place outdoors in green spaces. The term instead refers to character of meetings organised with the goals of sustainable development and environmental compatibility in mind. Green Meetings promote regional partners, protect the environment and give all involved a good feeling of doing something positive and responsible.

4 Retaining the tried and true, without living in a museum. That s the trick, managed daily in Alpbach. Alpbach is unique, as expressed by the landscape, the architecture, and the permissive openness of its people. The village has managed to retain its character and charm, thanks in no small part to the bold decision-making of former town mayor Alfons Moser, who insisted on relying on wooden architecture. High standards and reliability were decisive factors in identifying our gastronomic and accommodation partners as premium partners. After all, it s our goal to make each guest feel welcome here.

5 Why do partners from around the world enjoy meeting here? Perhaps this unique location, more than any other venue, opens participants up to more viewpoints? Thinkers, politicians, scientists and business heavyweights have come to appreciate the special energy and prevailing mood in Alpbach. For it is here, on a sunny plateau at 1,000 m elevation and far from the urban hustle and bustle, that ideas take flight and one begins to see to others in a new light. This is a place to experience authenticity and to enjoy hospitality and the changing of seasons, each seemingly more beautiful than the last.

6 Just a few steps from the nature of our Alpine meadow The Congress Centrum Alpbach is an architectural gem. The DIN A4 team from Innsbruck designed the building to impart a bright and comfortable atmosphere. Situated upon a ridge, each detail of this special property was conceived with the idea of retaining Alpbach s unique charm. The design has also allowed the energy needs of the building to be kept to a minimum in harmony with the natural environment. A spiral-shaped concave structure made of glass provides natural daylight to all meeting rooms.

7 This is a place to put ideas and thoughts at the centre. What would Alpbach be without the European Forum Alpbach. Numerous luminaries of the past century and present have made Alpbach the Village of thinkers. Every August since 1945, scientists and decision-makers from the realms of politics, culture and economics have joined together with students for cross-disciplinary discussions that go beyond borders, nations and ideologies. The European Forum Alpbach ( ensures a framework to speak openly about knowledge bases, the state of research and contemporary challenges.
